This and a couple of adjacent streets of terraced houses formed an isolated community, well separated from the main part of Hucknall, for several decades before the main part of the current Hazelgrove estate was developed. The reason for the initial development is the proximity to the old Hucknall No.1 Colliery, for whose workers they would almost certainly have been provided.
